Lol stoners and logic


If you honestly don't think that lower = better you're a buffoon. On every platform when it comes to traction and handling.

Lowering kills forward traction actually. You don't get as much weight transfer. Not sure if srs.

Very serious. If you think 1 inch lower isnt better than stock for performance gains, like I said, you're a buffoon.

That's why BMR drag springs for my car are stock height in the back then right?


Right?

The front is lower because the spring rate is lower to allow the spring to extend easier to transfer weight. You need to go read up on suspension. Outside of stanced/hellaflush shit. Functional suspension...

And you're stuck in the 11's. Congrats.

Stuck? No. Not stuck. I've driven all of my cars to within 1 tenth of where they should run. Stuck implies I can't go faster. All I have to do is spend more money. The suspension on the Formula is completely stock with Bilstein HD shocks and the front sway bar removed. It hooks quite a bit better than my Trans Am on Sportlines which are god awful and 2.5" lower than stock. They make it look good in a parking lot. That's about it.


Wait wait wait.


Where is your 13 second slip? Much less 11...

Reading comprehension.

I was talking about the springs, not implying they are on my car.

The BMR drag springs are stock height but only 150-250 lbs/in. The car sits physically lower in the front but that is just a side effect of the low spring rate. Lowering springs are opposite. It is a shorter spring with less travel and a stiffer spring rate. That doesn't let the nose rise as much as stock and hinders weight transfer to the rear wheels.
